- Open local files with Chrome
- Open local files with Firefox
- Open local files with Internet Explorer
1. Open local files with Chrome
By default (and for security !), Chrome forbids the opening of urls pointing towards local files, from a web browser. There is a workaround using the Localinks extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/locallinks/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida
Then activate the extension.
2. Open local files with Firefox
Again, by default and for security, Firefox forbids the opening of URLs pointing at local files, from a web browser. Here is a work around:
- Open the AppData folder
To locate it easily in Firefox, click on :
Firefox->Help->Debug help
Then click on Open the corresponding folder
The path sould like the following : C:\Users\Utilisateurs\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default
2 possibilities :
- Either there is already a user.js file, to which you need to add the following lines :
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://192.168.1.88:8080");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
- Or there is no file named user.js, in which case you need to create it and put the lines detailed above.
You then need to copy user.js into the folder, to stop Firefox (check that the process has been killed) and restart it. The local files should open normally.
3. Open local files with Internet Explorer
Open Internet Explorer
Go to Internet Options
Go to the security tab
Click on Trusted Sites
Click on Sites and add the ip address of your datafari, starting with http:// (do not add the port number, just the IP)
Restart your windows explorer, do another search and voila !
